We're dividing 867723 by 42 
We want to figure out the number of times 867723 can be divided by 42.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 42

Step 2:
42 can be fit into 86 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 84 away from 86, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 42

Let's proceed to step 3:
27 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
42 goes into 277 6 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 206.0
If we subtract 252 from 277, we get 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 42

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 252 by 42, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2066.0
Subtracting 252 from 252 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 3 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20660.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20660.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 300 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20660.07
If we subtract 294 from 300, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20660.071
If we take 42 away from 60, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
42 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20660.0714
Subtract 168 from 180 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20660.07142
Deduct 84 from 120 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
360 divided by 42 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20660.071428
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 336 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 42, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20660.0714285
If we take 210 away from 240, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
42 can be fit into 300 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20660.07142857
Subtract 294 from 300 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20660.07142857, and the remainder is 6e-09.
